US EditionBrewers Sign Veteran Pitcher Erick Fedde and Place All-Star Closer Trevor Megill on Injured List
Brewers signed Erick Fedde to support pitching during a demanding 18-day stretch with 19 games; Megill has 30 saves and a 2.54 ERA before injury sidelined him.
- On Aug 27, 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers placed All-Star closer Trevor Megill on the 15-day injured list with a right flexor strain and signed veteran right-hander Erick Fedde.
- Imaging on Megill showed a right flexor strain after 34 pitches Sunday in a 4-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants, and the injured-list move was retroactive to Monday.
- Megill has been effective this year, recording a 5-3 record with a 2.54 ERA, 30 saves in 44 appearances, and a 99.2 mph average fastball velocity alongside a 30.7% strikeout rate.
- With an 18-day stretch of 19 games, Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Abner Uribe will get the first save chances while Erick Fedde was activated for the home game against Arizona.
- Fedde arrives having struggled this year, with a 5.74 ERA and 76 strikeouts in 125 innings, and he'll make the veteran minimum after Atlanta paid his $7.5 million salary, likely filling an innings-eater role.
